11-2...LINGUINE WITH OREGANO PESTO

With Patience out of town I decided to “experiment” with a new dish…at least for me…using fresh Oregano from our herb garden, lemon, and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

INGREDIENTS:

Linguine
Fresh oregano
Lemon juice
Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Olive oil
Garlic

PROCESS:

Using a mortar and pestle I ground 2 tablespoons of oregano with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and cheese. About 5 minutes before the pasta was ready I heated this over low-medium heat. The pasta is added to the pan along with a small amount of the pasta water and mixed well. Sprinkle with P-R cheese and serve.

COMMENTS:

This combination of ingredients creates a delightfully unique flavor, unlike any of the other dishes I’ve prepared.
